Brie Cranberry and Chicken Pizza
This was simply amazing and simply easy to cook. Bought a store prepare pizza shell. Used regular for the first time, will use whole wheat next time around. Spread 2 tbs of melted butter with a little garlic powder on the dough. Used whole cranberry sauce. Used lots of brie-didn't even look but much more than 6 oz. To make it even easier, next time I'm going to use the precooked grilled chicken strips. Coated the crust with a little olive oil. Baked at 425 degrees. This is amazing!!

Banana Sour Cream Bread
Wow! This is the most perfect banana bread ever! This is my first time making it so I used the full amount of sugar and did not substitute with apple sauce so that I have a basis. I did make the crumbly topping which I use for the zucchini bead. I cooked at 325 for 1 hr 10 minutes. I added a dash of nutmeg. I did not need a blender at any point as others have mentioned they did. I just made sure the butter was soft and used a spatula to "cream" together with the sugar. Fabulous! Will make again and again!

Kosher Salt Encrusted Prime Rib Roast
Like others I was so skeptical of coating this expensive cut of beef with so much salt, but wow was this amazing! I didn't mix with a little water to make a paste but next time I will do this. There were a couple of pieces that I didn't get all the salt off that were a tad bit salty but nothing disgusting. This really is an amazing way to cook prime-rib. Also, DO NOT trim the fat from the roast...this is what makes it so yummy.
